they don't cover it (do they?). it's the stone roses versh on the getting there ost.

I apologize. That was all my wishful thinking. *sad face*

Obviously TLC kicks everybody else's arse and then leaves their dismembered corpses in a roadside rubbish bin.

Waddabout Paul McCartney's 'Waterfalls'?

― de, Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow, I subconsciously placed McCartney in the initial list. I've only just realised he isn't there.

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:52 (twenty-two years ago)

tlc. the stone roses one is great for two minutes, but then there's all that boring guitar soloing.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:53 (twenty-two years ago)

TLC. None of the others come close.

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:53 (twenty-two years ago)

Stone Roses!! The guitar solo on that song is phenomenal!! It's the "Stairway to Heaven" of the 1980s!!

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Thursday, 22 April 2004 21:55 (twenty-two years ago)

It's the "Stairway to Heaven" of the 1980s!!

And that's a good thing?

Admittedly I thought of this when the Stone Roses reformation thread came up and I was commenting in chat that they are indeed awful (except for Mani) but that I'd make an exception for "Waterfall". And then thee Wendy & Lisa song came up on random play a couple days ago...

Waddabout Paul McCartney's 'Waterfalls'?

Don't know the song. But I have always maintained that McCartney can go stick his head in a pig.

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Thursday, 22 April 2004 22:01 (twenty-two years ago)

It's not that good. (Surprise!)
I'm just being a stickler.

― de, Thursday, 22 April 2004 22:02 (twenty-two years ago)

McCartney's song (which eventually must have influenced the lyrics in the TLC tune) does of course win here. A great song from an otherwise crap album.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Thursday, 22 April 2004 22:15 (twenty-two years ago)

W & L whoop ass, yo.

― J (Jay), Thursday, 22 April 2004 22:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Pffft. I always skip Waterfalls when playing McCartney II, an otherwise excellent album. It is. It is so. Yes it bloody is. Oh shush.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 22 April 2004 22:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, and Andy Partridge wins by a country mile.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 22 April 2004 22:36 (twenty-two years ago)

tlc, easy.

― dan (dan), Thursday, 22 April 2004 23:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and lakes that you used to do...

Such an awkward metaphor, don't you think?Âµ

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 22 April 2004 23:15 (twenty-two years ago)

the bass in the stone roses one makes that song. mani is and will always be the best member of that group

― the surface noise (electricsound), Thursday, 22 April 2004 23:19 (twenty-two years ago)

You are cool
